I see you like the translation for ...Hi Chef John,<br /><br />I see you like the translation for "swallowing clouds". Here's how that name came to be. Wontons originate in the colder regions of China as a cheap street food. As opposed to us sitting comfortably at dining tables in nice restaurants, patrons in China eat their wontons by the stall right on the street. Passerbys basically see a couple of elbows sticking out on either side of a cloud of steam as the patrons shovel down these juicy little dumplings. <br /><br />Thanks showing us how to cook such a wide range of different foods!!missatamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-90144711368843808622009-03-27T23:43:00.000-04:002009-03-27T23:43:00.000-04:00since you only put a little bit of pork in it cook...since you only put a little bit of pork in it cooks in just a few minutes, no need to cook til mushy!<BR/><BR/>I never add all the wontons at one time, there are too many.

Unfortunately the wonton wrappers became very mushy by the time the pork was cooked and I couldn't get over the consistency of it. How do you keep the wonton wrappers from overcooking - maybe I'm too paranoid about my cooking time for pork. The recipe also made a ton (should have known considering 1lb of pork was called for) and my wontons overcrowded the pot and started sticking to one another. Think I may cut the recipe in half next time.Ann Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086758334914283296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-20506436218241423592009-01-22T02:15:00.000-05:002009-01-22T02:15:00.000-05:00This is a really delicious recipe.

I'm plannig to make your wonton soup recipe this weekend.<BR/><BR/>I followed your rosemary/thyme/lemon roasted chicken recipe (and gravy) last weekend and it was (as you assured) the best roast chicken I've cooked. The gravy turned out better than any other I've tried. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>-- Jondatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16705406053789465760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-58600787313379632222008-08-09T22:16:00.000-04:002008-08-09T22:16:00.000-04:00great!
